Edinburgh is Delightful!

Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland and is the seat of the Scottish Parliament. Being a University City, Edinburgh has over 60,000 students and attracts around 13 million visitors a year! You can find some of the most wonderful buildings of the British Isles here, including the 1,000-year-old Edinburgh Castle. The city is home to one of the most enchanting and exciting arts festivals in the world. The Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Indeed the period from July to September is Festival Time in the city, with the Arts, Jazz and Blues Festival and the International Film Festival all taking place. The street Festival celebrating the New Year is called Hogmanay, and this is a party to beat all parties!


Visiting Edinburgh is not just about Festivals, for a bit of culture visit the Scotland Museum and the National Gallery of Scotland to name but two. You could also pay a visit to the mountain called "Arthur's Seat", which is an extinct volcano located right in the middle of the city!
